| reasonably responsive
to the Creative Brief, the Client shall submit information
regarding amendments or modification to be made to the initial
Response (“Revision Brief”). After providing
a Revision Brief, Client will be provided a subsequent Response
that conforms with the additional criteria requested by
Client.
(d) Responses. Logo Tree Design is not responsible for the
content of Responses developed to the extent that such responses
are based in conformity with Client’s Creative or
Revision Briefs.
(e) Revisions. Revisions generally consist of 2-6 additional
compositions that incorporate changes requested by the Client
in the Revision Brief. The purpose of the revision process
is to create Responses that move forward in a specific direction
as determined by the Client. The Client may request significant
changes in the 1st and 2nd revision, and the Responses might
be quite different in nature from the original version chosen.
By the 3rd revision request, Client’s requests shall
be modifications of the then current version only. Revision
requests that depart from the current composition will be
honored and completed in the same timely manner, however;
Logo Tree Design reserves the right to charge $50 for each
such Revision. No revision work, which requires payment,
will be started without authorization from Client.
(f) Client Accounts.
a. Payment. Clients registering for the Service must pay
for the Service via credit card, or other payment method
expressly authorized by Star Media Communications INC. through
Logo Tree Design, at the time of registration for the Service.
Clients will be charged for the Package(s) selected. If
Client pays its account by credit card, Client will be required
to provide a valid credit card number and your credit card
billing address when they register as a Client. Logo Tree
Design will email Client a receipt for the transactions
for which Client is billed. Our fee policy for Clients may
change and we may decide to impose additional fees on Clients
at any time. Such fees will not, however, apply to sevices
submitted before such change in fees by Logo Tree Design.
b. Refunds. If Client is not satisfied with the initial
Response provided by Logo Tree Design, Client may request
a refund by completing the Refund Request form which will
be provided to Client upon request. Upon timely receipt
of the completed form, Logo Tree Design will refund the
total payment made by Client, less a fifty dollar ($50.00)
service and processing fee. Once Client has requested additional
revisions for any of the initial concepts, and/or orders
and receives a slogan design a Client shall forfeit the
right to the refund as outlined above. Acceptance of such
refund shall constitute Client’s sole and exclusive
remedy with respect to such initial Response. Should Client
receive such refund, Client expressly confirms that it will
have absolutely no right (express or implied) to use any
Response or other work product, content, or media, nor shall
Client acquire any ownership interest in or to same.
c. Service duration. Client agrees to provide timely responses
to Logo Tree Design after receiving status notifications
from Logo Tree Design. Client shall have 30 days to respond
to each set of Responses submitted to Client for review.
If after 30 days the Client has failed to so respond, Logo
Tree Design will assume the Service complete and the Service
shall be deemed to be complete. At such time, Logo Tree
Design shall have no further obligation to Client, and Client
shall pay Logo Tree Design all fees and expenses associated
with work performed by Logo Tree Design.

5. Registration, Password, User Identity.
(a) Client User Identity. When you register as a Client,

with other users through the Web Site. Your User Identity
will include certain personal information, such as, the
industry in which you operate. However, your User Identity
need not be your real name. During the registration process,
the fields requesting information that will be made available

making such information available to other Web Site users.

shall keep confidential, shall not disseminate, and shall
use solely in accordance with the Terms and Conditions,

7. Disclaimers; Limitations of Liability.
(a) Generally; Release from Claims. The Service serves solely
as a venue for the creation of work and LogoTree does not
screen or censor any information or material posted to the

efforts to determine the identity of Clients, LogoTree cannot
and does not confirm that any Client or other user is who
they claim to be or that any Client or other user has the

direct, indirect, incidential, special and exemplory) of
every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and
unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or
in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California
resident, you waive California Civil Code section 1542,
which says: "A general release does not extend to claims
which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in
his favor at the time of executing the release, which if
known by him must have materially affected his settlement
with the debtor."

links to third party web sites or other services (the "Linked

of LogoTree and LogoTree is not responsible for the Linked
Content, including, without limitation, links contained
in the Linked Content, or any changes or updates to Linked
Content. LogoTree is providing Linked Content to you only
as a convenience, and the inclusion of such Linked Content
is not an endorsement by LogoTree of such Linked Content.

your own risk.
10. Termination. LogoTree reserves the right, in its sole
discretion, to terminate Client’s access to all or
a portion of the Service, at any time, with or without notice.
In the event of such termination, LogoTree will work with
Client to determine the amount of any refund (if any) to
be paid to Client as a result of such termination. Should

from Client’s material breach of the Terms and Conditions
of this Agreement, or any other agreement to which LogoTree
and Client are a party, Client shall not be entitled to
any refund.
11. General. These Terms and Conditions set forth the entire
agreement and understanding of the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior

all contemporaneous oral agreements and understandings (excluding
any associated agreements required by LogoTree (e.g., privacy
policy) as a condition precedent to Client’s use of
the Service), between you and LogoTree regarding the subject
matter of these Terms and Conditions. No modification, amendment,
or waiver of these Terms and Conditions or Use or any part
of them shall be binding unless evidenced in writing and
signed by LogoTree. If any provision of these Terms and
Conditions is held by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, then such provision
shall be deemed null and void, but the remaining provisions
shall continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated
in any way. The language of these Terms and Conditions shall
be deemed to be the language mutually chosen by the parties
and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against
or in favor of either party hereto. The section headings
and other headings contained in these Terms and Conditions
shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of these
Terms and Conditions. These Terms and Conditions shall be
governed by the substantive law of the State of New York,
without reference to any choice of law rules that would
result in the application of the substantive law of any
other jurisdiction. The parties agree that any disputes
arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions
shall be submitted to the federal courts having jurisdiction
in Albany, New York, or state courts having jurisdiction
in the area in which such federal courts have jurisdiction,
and the parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of
such courts in respect of such disputes. Client may not
assign or otherwise transfer (by operation of law or otherwise)
any of its rights or duties hereunder unless LogoTree agrees
in writing after receiving prior written notice. Any attempted
assignment or other transfer without the requisite consent
of LogoTree shall be null and void ab initio. LogoTree may
